Question

What is the value of the product $34\times -57?$

• A. $238$
• B. $-1700$
• C. $1938$
• D. $-1938$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $-1938$

$34\times -57$ can be written as $-(34\times 57)$.

First, we need to find the value of $34\times 57$, and then we can include the negative sign to the evaluated value.

First, we would multiply $7$ of $57$ with $34$.


Now, we would multiply $5$ of $57$ with $34$.


Finally, we would add $238$ and $1700$ to get the final answer.


Hence, the value of the product $34\times 57$ is $1938$.

$\therefore 34\times -57=-(34\times 57)=-1938$

Therefore, option (d.) is the correct one.
